🧍 This emendation was not found in the expected IJSEM notification list.
🧍 Data from DNA-DNA hybridization experiments, whole-cell-derived polypeptide patterns, and data from phenotypic testing demonstrate that Streptococcus constellatus (Prévot 1924) Holdeman and Moore 1974 (Approved Lists 1980), Streptococcus anginosus (Andrewes and Horder 1906) Smith and Sherman 1938 (Approved Lists 1980), and Streptococcus intermedius Prévot 1925 (Approved Lists 1980) are distinct species [1]. — 🧍 However, the taxonomic status of strains classified as Streptococcus constellatus, Streptococcus anginosus, and Streptococcus intermedius has been the subject of much debate. The analysis of whole-cell protein patterns (P. Vandamme et al. 1998 [2]) supports the viewpoint that these three taxa constitute a single species which should be referred to as Streptococcus anginosus. Nevertheless, no formal proposition is made in the paper by P. Vandamme et al. [2].
